Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation." }, { "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach." }, { "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?", "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job." }, { "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview.

Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this Vice Principal role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Vice Principal — Alchemy School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." } ] }
